tukan - light a rainbow

I admit the title does sound a little cheesy but check it out anyway. I got the wippenburg mix from AG, their the same peeps who remixed "ian van cheese - cheese in the sky" and made it sound a bit more respectable. It also has vocals for all you anti dub peeps! I'd upload an extract but i can't be Rsed.

Yeh i've heard it a million times. Decent tune. I got 8 different mixes of it... The 2-step mix is da shit!

This always happens, a good tune gets overplayed then it hits commercial. ppk resurrection used to be alright but it's gone commercial . I've been looking back through my collection after i heard tiesto play cj bolland. I've still got the original along with some other decent tunes i'm starting to fit into my sets. Koolworld - invader is a pretty cool tune and bedrock - set in stone.

I've got the vintl with the Wippenberg mix on the one side and CJ Stone on the other - beautiful!!!

- A.

I think Green Court is the best mix out of them all IMO...

peace

So, you're saying that when a tune gets played a lot it looses its appeal? I don't follow that logic.

yes, trancaholic. If a song gets played a lot or is just old, it loses a large extent of its appeal. I mean, do you still go around listening to sandstorm or everybody loves a carnival. NO! Music evolves. That is why there is a large DJ industry where one of their goals is to play the newest songs so that people can say, "hey what is that song they played?" It interests people to hear new stuff. Do you go to your record store and get the oldest CDs and vinyl? No, you are gonna get the new stuff because it's fun to hear a new song that you love. Sorry to disagree so harshly, but I think others feel the same way.

I don't feel that your reply is harsh at all - just arguments that back up your opinion. Personally I do occasionally listen to the older tracks like Snap!, 2Unlimited and (speaking of more trancey sounds) BBE and Future Breeze. And I even bought the first Leftfield album half a year ago even though it's five years old or something.
Maybe it's because I never listen to radio, but I still fail to see why good tracks become worse as time passes or they get played to more people. Weak/repetive tracks of course gets long in the tooth because their imperfections stand out, but we all adore Caf� del Mar don't we? And that's from like 93 or something.

i agree with DJsparxx, it doesn't make it any less of a tune but if it goes commercial then fat radio dj's get the horn and play it all the time. For me it kills a reputation. YOur right about cafe del mar but it was never released as a single as far as i know. I used to come home and listen to that track every day. I'm so wierd!

back to the title, i love this tune

Which mix has the breakbeat innit?

acctualy it's from 1997

It was late 97 to early 98. I have albums for summer 97 and it's not on there but it is on the 98 album so it must have been released between then. While we're on the subject, i've been to cafe del mar, nice place, a bit freaky tho.

u mean Tukan - Light A Rainbow or Energy 53 - Cafe del Mar?
either way breakbeat mix would be....

*Energy 52- Cafe Del Mar (Hybrid Time Travelller Mix)

or

*Tukan - Light A Rainbow (Kronixx Mix)

both wicked songs

personally w/ the Light A Rainbow song, i perfer the CJ Stone Remix

Yeah, tukan light a rainbow is fairly old, but it is a quality track.

Hmm. Seems like I'm outnumbered in the age&popularity-detracts-from-quality discussion, so in the future I'll let comments like on that pass

btw. Caf'e del Mar: Three'n One Remix (1997), Nalin & Kane Remix (1998) - Original (early 90's - can't remember exact year). All of them appeared as singles, and the 1997 version even went top 10 in Norway as far as I remember.

i have to disagree.. trance is similar to wine: it just gets better with time

well, that is part of it, but what about when a dj plays a classic and people say "hey, remember when we first heard this tune at gatecrasher (or whereever..)"

i think if djs played sets full of new songs, the people wouldnt know what thier dancing to, but if a dj plays all old songs, thier wouldn't be any surprises. a dj should strike a balance between the old and the new songs.. and play the best of both worlds

at the end of the day both cheese and excellent tunes get played a lot.

cheese (castles in the sky) gets annoying and you wish the producer was dead

excellent tunes (urban train) just never lose their appeal

ok, this is how i see it. there's old, and then there's classic. old is when a song gets so overplayed that nobody wants to listen to it (sandstorm), while classic is when a song is dated, but *usually* not overplayed (cafe del mar). some classics can fall into the old category, but but that is because the production is so great or unique that after being old it is still listened to by some individuals who can never get tired of certain tracks (Armin - Communication).
that's my opinion, now let the flaming begin! lol
